  • No one could have jumped on that boat and threw out the anchor?

  • at 2:07 the second boat drifting is one hell of a lot of money.

  • Please do not stay near the coast when tsunami comes.

    Please learn from the tragedy in Japan.

  • RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @AshTEN222 There is still time. California is next.

  • this is about as entertaining as watching paint dry.

  • Hanging out on the piers/gangways/whatever they're called does not seem smart. If a boat owner really wanted to protect their boat, the best way to do it would have been to take their boat far out to sea ahead of time. Marinas are the most vulnerable to tsunami, just the shift in current with no significant wave height is enough to do serious damage, and -- no demeanment to the ground zero damage victims in Japan -- several U.S. coastal areas are bonafide disaster areas from this tsunami

  • @rider4343 To what? The docks the boats were moored to were torn asunder by the tsunami.

  • @KendaRomano085 shut up coward

  • fucking epic shit

  • It's a good thing that it was super low tide when it hit... Could have been much worse if there was more water to tear things up. Still about 60 people who lived on their boats are homeless now.  Crazy!

  • YouTube never fails, as a site where you can be sure to find an ample supply of wee pups that what to shoot their poorly educated mouths off about something they know nothing about. And nothing could be hilarious.

  • I'm on a boat!

  • so so tragic. to help out text REDCROSS  to 90999

  • quit yo bitching wining.

  • I'm grateful everyone's okay, and thank god we're not in Japan. And for those speaking far too confidently about matters they have no clue about, good luck, you got it all wrong.

  • ... let’s see what else, while physically witnessing this the water level would raise and fall 3+ feet between surges...

    now break that down, take a water glass and vertically plunging it into a tub of water. Quickly it will fill. Now pull the cup out (vertically still) again a surge of water. Now we can all imagine what there would do in a confined space and at a much higher degree. It would likely destroy a harbor and thrash around its boats, right?

  • I live two blocks from the harbor. I think it should be noted that locals didn't ask the media to come here and make a drama of people's destroyed property. By all means not all of the owners are rich. This is Santa Cruz, a number of these boats are actually occupied as people’s homes. Not bc of economic blah blah, but bc people chose to. As well most insurances are not covering this, being it’s a "national disaster" there for they have to submit to FEMA

  • @zackworrell Not only does your first comment make you look like a dumb ass your next comment about Americans just makes you look like a douche bag

  • people need to learn how to properly tie a boat

  • i bet a lot of niggas are krunkin wit fawties and bling bling there

  • It's just... it's so horrific, watching all these innocent boats suddenly without homes. The boats' infrastructure will be devastated for years to come. I hear that hundreds of boats still don't even know what happened to their families. My prayers are with them.

  • Holy Shit! My dad just sold his boat in the nick of time!

  • Gilligan and the Skipper had their chance to finally get off the island...

    they blew it when they sat there and watched the "Minnow" float away!!

  • Look bumper boats...

  • Something to be said about the integrity of the hulls on those sailboats, taking those kinds of hits from that runaway....

  • I heard one lady on tv saying that this was a disaster and she can't speak to the news reporter or watch the boats in the bay and she started crying. I was like how can she say that the boats smashing into eachother in california was a disaster?? have she seen japan???

  • @dall123451 WHAT?!?!

  • those boats were anchored, but the currents were too fast..

  • Wow... and no one in the entire marina couldn't draw a line and tie the boat down to avoid further damage ... Very neighborly...

  • Obviously some of you guys are not boaters. You never put your body in between two boats or a boat and a dock when the boat is that big. I have a 30ft cabin cruiser and it will crush you if you try. Those boats are at least 35ft and weigh 15,000 lbs. Moving like they are you wont even slow them down. And if you dont have the keys your not dropping those anchors. They're motorized. 

  • It looks like Santa Cruz got it worse that Crescent City.

  • its not as bad as it looks

    

  • And no they were not able to go down and tie them back on after the lines broke loose. So many cops and harbor patrol were blocking off people from getting onto the docks

  • You guys who are saying "oh those people are dumb, their boats weren't tied down" You are fucking retarded. I watched lines break loose and boats get carried off, all the boats were tied down you idiots. and docks actually got torn apart which was one of the reason boats floated away or got ruined. I was there at the harbor all day, i know tons of people who have boats down there and live on them and they got completely destroyed. That was there life, there home.

    Dont be so fucking arrogant

  • Whomever didn't tie their boat down good is in for a few law suits... Damn, that current is moving fast... holy cow....

  • if i was the man whos boat was hit and ran, if i was him, i would try to jump on the boat and drop the anchor

  • ahahhahaha funny shit

  • they should have tied there boats they knew a tsunami could happen

  • I Got a question ????? If someone were to get on that boat. Would that boat become theirs. Would maritime law come into play. Would that be a salvage sorta thing. Just wondering

  • AND THE LORD SAID ON TO THEE A FLOOD SHALT I SEND AGAINST THEE FOR THY MANY TRANSGRESSIONS AGAINST THE LORD THY GOD 5-21-2011

  • @FullOFGAS88 - and God said unto thee, believers who post to the videos of tragedy are naught in my sight because they are mindless wankers.

  • @LiamXaoh alright you busted me ,it was sort of thoughtless of me did'nt think anyone would catch it.

  • they could have tied the one boat when it was at the dock

  • I need someone to get a message out to people working on those reactors. Do not pour hot water on something that hot. It will crack almost every single time. Hook yourselves some HUGH capacity cooling systems up around it. Commercial heating and cooling systems at REally close range of the reactors. Let them blow cool air directly on it.

  • thoughts n prayers to everyone across the world

  • I live in Santa Cruz and I certainly sympathize with those who suffered and the loss to the city as well.

  • Chuck Norris forgot to bring his lasso today!

  • whahhhh fuc**** wahhh. sell your boat and help the people who have lost their family and loved ones...... dont be selfish (not shellfish) give santa cruz a good name! be a real american, be proud.........

  • don't take to much strength to throw a line and tie it off, maybe just a little bit of baqlls though.. seperates the men from the boys

  • some serious stupid comments from some dull minds. I would like to see the person who would put themselves against a 10 ton boat moving with this current and a metal dock piling, I guess that guy could call these boaters cowards, but you my friend can sit in your house behind your computor, tough guy. by the way not all boaters are rich, another statement that tells me you should not be commenting on something you know nothing about.

  • @jackchorn - hey captain fishsticks?

    at 0:26 the boat isn't moving & there is plenty of time for the guy on the doc to react & tie it off.

  • @jackchorn you hit the nail on the head. its real easy to be tuogh in the comfort of you own home but i bet if punched any of these "tough guys" in the face they would cry. hence why they talk tough online! fuckin sheep.

  • @jackchorn I disagree with you regarding how terrible this was. If these loose boats had been tided up they wouldn't have been slamming into the other boats. The boats that were tied up were not moving around at all.

  • @rlwieneke Aparently you didn't see the initial video of the wave that ripped the docks up.

  • @Waterpup No, I haven't. Can you post a link?

  • @rlwieneke It was terrible in Japan. Mostly, we have little to complain about.

    Amazing how strong fiberglass boats are. The biggest problem, for the most part, are the 50 year old wooden docks that came apart.

  • sickening to watch these people run.. definitely the kind of persons you don't want around boats or the water.. there could be someone incapacitated in one of those boats

  • @richardtheone So what did YOU do to help Dicktheone?I think you have no empathy and you should drink a tall glass of SHUTDAFUKUP!I think people will agree with me.I live 100s of miles away but I am still sympathetic.Go drink your glass.All negative comments shall be deleted.

  • @Mr Snake Eyes 99 well i,m the kind of guy who comes from a long line of seafarers and we know at least out here on the east coast you do what has to be done.. because we know the love of the ocean a good boat and the hard work and pride that goes into them .. but then were swimming deep, not bobbing around in the shallow end of understanding empathy and self sacrifice.. how close to shore do you call off the rules of the ocean???

  • but in the movies, things were happening much much more slowly

  • You know, all the Californian liberals are probably pretty excited at the tsunami wanting any excuse to hold out their hand and file as many money-grubbing claims for "financial assistance". I'm sure they are begging for the governor to declare a state of emergency and disaster area so they can pocket Fed money they can spend in a matter of days like they do their own public's.

  • chuck norris is after America Now?

  • Comment removed

  • Text JAPAN to 50555 to donate $10 to the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund. Then repost this.

  • Jerk on the dock couls have thrown a line on that yacht & saved the owner ( and others)a fortune

  • @IronicallyVague Spoken by a true landlubber. I was raised on a 113 ft subchaser in sf and tell me, would he have held on to that line? anything he would of tied it off to would of been ripped out, even the piling. and he would of not been able to hold on. That is a 20000 lb boat going at 10 15 knots. you do the math.

  • @wsalviso - Sir? ...

    I put away my calculator anytime someone mentions they were raised in SF on the backside of a subchaser

  • @wsalviso - At 0:23 that boat isn't moving, come ashore & gets your glasses checked Barnical boy :-P

  • Bumper boats!

  • dude wheres my boat? i parked it right here

  • dude wheres my boat?

  • And of course, more intelligent people going out to see the tsunami damage. How about someone actually tells the truth...it's not over!!!! It'll last at least another four hours. Someone in Crescent City already died because they went out to see it. When they say, stay away from the water, it's not an invitation to go down to the water.

  • I hate americans, g'damn cowards. ANY one of these idiot boat owners could have gotten a damn rope and secured those boats EASILY at NO RISK and saved thousands in damage and the possible sinking of some boats....no american stepped up to the plate; they were ALLl found wanting.

  • @PsychoticusRex You hate the country that saved you from the girl scout Germans twice in one century?

  • @rmauk Ahem, the generation that may have participated in THAT conflict is now in retirement homes, not on the banks of a small tributary staring like a bunch of retards at boats washing by, damaging homes and vehicles wondering what they can do. THAT generation knew what a Boy / Girl Scout was and the proper application and use of a damn ROPE! You don't need to be a cowboy to know how to tie a bowline and attach it to a dock and the other end to a boat moving at perhaps 10 km/hr.

  • @PsychoticusRex dude, chill. what do you want them to do, jump on the boat as its being pulled out? It's just physical damage....at least no one was hurt. hundreds of people are dead in Japan....we should be thankful the most we experienced was a few boats banging into each other.

  • @byonicbeats I should be sanguine about a demonstrative example of American moral inferiority? Your limited grasp of physics and marine lore is exemplified by your lack of demonstrated knowledge of the proper application and use of a ROPE. ANY other country in the world, the denizens would have put the question to themselves "Gosh something bad is happening, what can I do to help?". Every single Yankee at that event, plus the video-grapher thought, "Cool YouTube Moment". I call Narcissism.

  • @PsychoticusRex I bet if they tied a rope around that boat they probably would get pulled down with it and drowned. To save something that insurance will cover? Call me a coward, but I wouldn't risk my life so that somebody's boat wouldn't get beat up. And if you can't tell, it's obvious that nobody's on those boats. Not worth the risk..and you could be charged with trespassing if you boarded that boat.

  • @cagedtigersteve your an idiot

  • @PsychoticusRex You're a moron.

  • @PsychoticusRex I HOPE YOU DIE THE SLOWEST PLAINFUL DEATH A HUMAN BEING HAS NEVER FACED YET. I HOPE WHILE YOUR DIEING EVERYONE IS LAUGHING. MAY YOUR HEART BE BLESSED TO THE WICKY EVIL OF THE WORLD

  • @jeffrywg your another idiot

  • @jeffrywg Ok, project much? Is Wiky Evil like Wiki-evil, a search engine based encyclopedia of ponerology? A charming, and I might say TELLING, sentiment from the global leader in moral education, the Yankees. You must be either a TeaBagger or a Republican since your humour, or self gratification, appears to derive from thoughts of death and suffering. Typical.

  • @PsychoticusRex once again another person telling u that u are a complete fucking ass clown

  • @PsychoticusRex let's put YOU in the same situation and see YOU try to do that while a tsunami current is coming across the bay. Real cowards are people who say stuff but dont do anything. and dont call Americans stupid. You're embarressing urself by posting a stupid comment. so please shut off ur computer and leave. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

  • @BryanRiel I've BEEN in a similar situation, Tsunami/Flood with boats ripping free of moorings no fault of the owners. Little zodiac, a bit of rope, no damage done but for the need to reset mooring points, the public dock was a bit full after but hardly an inconvenience compared to dozens of boats being damaged or sunk. Oh yes, watching a video on YouTube AFTER THE FACT I'm supposed to jump in my handy Delorian, jump back before, so I can be ready with a rope; miss the point much? fool yankee

  • @PsychoticusRex Just because you've BEEN in a SIMILAR SITUATION doesn't mean that it's the same situation. What if you didn't see the tsunami coming? And it took a a MONTH to come up with that stupid comment? PATHETIC! And again with the calling Americans stupid? Which country killed Osama Bin Laden huh? And why won't you listen to EVERYONE else on this video, do yourself a favor and shut up.

  • @BryanRiel I'll explain this slowly so even a gullible religious f'tard like yourself can understand. MOST people on earth live lives NOT defined by the approval of the YouTube Community, if it took me a month to respond it's because YOU are not important enough to require the 20 seconds it takes to respond earlier. It's you, not me. My comment was directed at the response of people TO the situation, none being of a civic mind, an indictment of your society, you suck, get over it.Bin Laden?HA!

  • @BryanRiel Which god? If it's Cthulhu; who thinks Americans who worship random Mexicans named Jesus (pronounced: Hey! ZEUS!) taste like chicken, I would admit to feeling sympathetic. But on a more serious note, you Yankees are a fairly sheltered lot aren't ya? One little comment on an insignificant YouTube video and your fit to be tied. Nice perspective.

  • @PsychoticusRex Ok. Fine. You win. You hate America and that's that. Took me a bit to realize that there are millions of ppl in this world that think the same. Now, I would like to end this argument and move on. Sorry for wasting your time... and mine LOL!

  • @PsychoticusRex

    Since your from Canada ill inform you a little,

    Tsunami (tsnä`mē), series of catastrophic ocean waves generated by submarine movements, which may be caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions ect. Tsunamis may have wavelengths of up to several hundred miles and travel at speeds up to 500 mi per hr (800 km per hr), yet have wave heights of less than 3 ft (1 m). Do the math you fucking idiot. & why are you talking shit on a country that's saved your ass countless times.

  • @igotboomy while i don't hate americans i do have to agree with my country men on this point and by the way when did you save our ass..countless times?

  • @igotboomy Way to hide behind your "Greatest Generation"s skirts cowardly Yankee. From THE country that gave us "Math is hard" (barbie) one perhaps would be advised not to cast to many stones from yonder glass house. The boats in question were moving at MAYBE 14 km/hr past the dock, ahem, for the nautically disinclined, that's the normal DOCKING SPEED for someone who's competent to operate a marine vehicle! Appropriate application of ropes and there wouldn't have been a "YouTube moment".

  • Dear @PsychoticusRex,

    I think you will be pleased to know that I agree with you. Those rich bastards totally deserved to have their boats washed away. Why didn't they tie them down themselves? Cuz they're idiots. I mean look in the beginning at all the people just standing there watching like retards. Why don't they get down there and do some damage control (cuz they're stupid....and ya, cowards.)

  • @Dasunddaseinzig Why should people standing around do something? What if they don't even have boats there? What if they are by-standers, that are happy to watch Richy Rich's boat swim with the fishes?

  • dear @Dasunddaseinzig,

    i wanna see you trying to hold back a 10 ton boat against those currents. why cant you? (cuz you're retarded for thinking anyone can... and yeah, a coward).

  • @Dasunddaseinzig Thank you. Do the rich deserve to have all their crap taken away in the most galling way possible, yes I agree. The POINT of the post that others seem to have missed are that the people involved in this video demonstrated none of the vaunted civic-mindedness that comes from people who see themselves as a part of a larger community. None of the SCOUT ethic, more along the lines of the ADOLECENT ethic. That was the indictment, not success, but the ATTEMPT to fix was not made.

  • @PsychoticusRex did you just insult a whole country, 350 million plus people because someone didnt risk their life for an out of control boat??? you are a freakin idiot... in fact I feel kinda stupid for aknowledging your idiotic comment.. I guess i just could resist telling you that your mother wishes she had gotten an abortion...

    signed ...

    your step dad( the one that beat you)

  • @dangermous1968 I insult a whole country, because this behaviour is endemic and indicative of many moral failings and personal short comings. Ah, since i don't fawn over our American lords and masters i must be from a broken family. Way to conform to the stereotype.

  • @PsychoticusRex I ask you ...How many times have YOU found yourself in the possition to jump on a moving boat and stop it from floating out of control? what.... NONE? then maybe you should stfu and stop judging a whole country for something u have obsolutely no experience in...

    maybe u should stop watching movies that show the actors jumping onto a moving boat or a moving train and saving the day ....and assuming that it is the same in real life...how about it?

  • @PsychoticusRex dude.. im canadian and dont like americans that much but wtf on earth where they suposed to do and if they jumped in the boats thed just get swept away so you need to stfu and stop calling them cowards when you would have sat there pickin your fuckng nuts

  • @PsychoticusRex

    At least it was just a boat that got damaged! Compared to Japan where many people were injured and many died! I don't care about a few boats compared to that!

  • @PsychoticusRex Oh yes... let me just jump into a raging current to save someone's boat.. The average mid-size boat weighs about 2,630 Kg.. Moving at about 40 kph- which is about how fast they were moving.. Would require a 14,866 Kg force to stop it.. That would mean an empty semi-truck would have to be in that path to stop it- so please, unless you weigh as much as a semi-truck- Shut the fuck up..

  • Yay, harbor patrol. Oh, yeah they're boat was the yellow RESCUE boat parked.

  • My mom lives down there, and one of my coworkers is down there right now. I freaked when my dad said that there was a tsunami down there.

  • Seriously! "imowtflol" did you really have to go there! Maybe you were just trying... trying... to be "cheeky". But that was inappropriate!

  • bumper boats!

  • And once again Japan has launched an attack on USA

  • @imowtflol ???

  • Wow. No area on earth is safe

  • Thank you for posting this. I am a native of the central coast now living in Colorado and have been wondering how my beloved Monterey Bay has fared through the tsunami warning.

  • Don't user 1/2 inch dock line!

  • Would have been nice if some of these guys on the docks made more of an effort to stop the boat with ropes or whatever every time it came to a stop so it would continue crashing into things causing more and more damage.

  • @lisalrocks lol...then they be dragged to sea as well...you think one human being can stop an ocean current from pulling a 2 ton boat to shore?? Lol If they can get him a blue suit with a red cap and an S on his chest, we wil call him superman

  • i was hoping the bridge would collapse in the beginning and sweep all the nosey little bastards with it

  • looks like somebody got lazy tying up their craft--can we presume they're liable for damages their boat caused to others?

  • driftboat attaaaacks!

  • They have footage now showing in was caused by Godzilla.... I didn't even know he was real!

  • This is all

  • I know some are already blaming it on Col. Ghaddafi of Libya...

  • @Tampinu nawwwww...the dumbass Barbara Boxer Democratcs will blame it on Bush and the Republicans.
